So, it’s Art Every Day Month and I have doing a decent job getting art done. My goal was to finish something everyday since I have the pesky habit of leaving things half finished because my muse “leaves” me at about that point. Turns out my muse doesn’t go out to lunch and leave me [...]

As I worked on this, I knew I wanted a word in it but what word? I began to think of all the gifts I have in my life right now from a supportive family, a home, all the good health in our extended family, great art communities in Art Every Day Month and Paint [...]
I am still on my raindrops kick. One of my favorite summer activities is to walk in the rain- it feels so freeing to not care if I get wet AND step in all the puddles. It’s getting cold here so I’ll have to create that feeling in my art because I don’t get excited [...]
I’m linking up with Art Every Day Month and Paint Party Friday. I haven’t had a great deal of success with faces so I tend not to draw or paint them. I’m tired of being afraid of faces. The only way to get over it is to paint and draw faces. I have learned [...]

While reading some of the amazing Art Every Day blogs (and there are MANY GREAT BLOGS to inspire!), one idea resonated very strongly with me. This post discussed creating as a child and to adult. “I believe that the things we love to do as children are the things that are meant to [...]
There are so many amazing teachers and classes at Art is You. It is so tough to pick but I was beyond thrilled with Jodi Ohl’s class. I watched her painting and I was thrilled with how a painting looked in the beginning. I had no idea how much farther it would go by the [...]
This was my first class with Sue Pelletier. If I see her teaching, I will sign up for the class in a heartbeat. Why? Because it was amazing. Her class was very well paced. Her teaching style was relaxed and informative. She showed me supplies I have used before, but now I know a new [...]
